First and foremost, I am NOT a master at my craft… in fact, you’ll hear me say a lot of the times that I’m a student for life and simply learning day by day, just like you. That being said, what I am a master in is what I’ve learned from my experiences as a wedding filmmaker, and those experiences are something that I want and hope to share with anyone who wants to make the most out of this beautiful thing we get to call our “job”.
There are so many factors that go into capturing and editing a wedding film - from equipment, camera settings, lighting, composition, song choices, editing, color grading - it can be overwhelming and I for one had no idea where to start when I decided to pursue this full-time. But, I simply started, and that’s biggest step you can take. Whether you’re just dipping your toes or looking to take your current films to the next level, let me be your guide in that process. I’m a big believer in having mentors and I for one have had multiple throughout my own journey, the first one being Kaylor Shaye of Kaye Shaye Films. Each one of my mentors was critical to my journey and I could not have gotten to the point where I am today without them. I have filmed as a solo shooter for the majority of my career but my mentees have also become second shooters when I’ve needed them - community is a beautiful thing guys! If you’re ready to take the next step, what are you waiting for? Just start!

Quick FYI, I use Canon camera bodies and I edit on Final Cut Pro! Obviously all camera users are welcome!
First thing you’ll receive is a questionnaire that’ll help you think about those questions I mentioned above that you will write up! After this, I’ll review your questions and send you a link so you can schedule a time on my calendar for our session. Come prepped and ready because I’ll be sharing my screen so you can easily follow along through any workflows or editing. At the end of the call, we’ll circle back on some things you can implement RIGHT AWAY to get you to that next level!
What happens when I book a mentorship with you?
Anything you want! I highly encourage you to write up a brief set of questions (5 minimum!) so that I best know how to help you! We can chat about anything from how to get started as a wedding videographer (fundamentals are key), the gear that I wish I had known about when I started, how to market yourself, the client experience, Instagram and Tiktok strategies, my editing techniques (including color-grading), branding, Honeybook workflows, etc.
Which topics can we chat about?
One thing I learned early on is to always be a student of life. I value education so much and am a big believer that no education compares to one where you are fully present. I have invested so much in myself over the last few years and feel lucky to be in a position where I feel that I can give back to the filmmaking and photography community. I BY NO MEANS KNOW IT ALL (like I said, I love being a student!) but that doesn’t mean I can’t help you in your journey. Let’s vibe out together!
